Rigging Technology

Rigging Technology is a practical engineering course focused on the safe lifting, handling, shifting, and positioning of heavy equipment and materials in industrial environments. It introduces participants to fundamental rigging principles, lifting equipment, tools, accessories, and safe work practices. The course explains different types of slings, shackles, hooks, wire ropes, chains, and lifting devices used in rigging operations. Participants learn how to select suitable lifting accessories based on load characteristics and working conditions. The course covers load estimation, center of gravity, sling angles, lifting capacity, and safe working load calculations. It also explains basic crane operations, lifting plans, signaling methods, and communication between riggers and crane operators. Participants gain knowledge of inspection procedures for lifting tools and identification of damaged or unsafe equipment. The course highlights common rigging hazards and methods for preventing accidents during lifting activities. Practical considerations for industrial, construction, oil & gas, and maintenance applications are also discussed. By completing the course, participants develop a strong foundation in safe and efficient rigging operations and improve their ability to support professional lifting activities.
